To create and boot using an alternate partition database, perform the
following:
1. Create the partition configuration and alternate partition database
file.
winona1# vparcreate -p winsim1 -D /stand/vpdb.sim -a
cpu::4 -a cpu:::4 -a mem::1600 -a io:0/0 -a io:0/4 -a
io:0/0/2/0.6.0:BOOT
winona2# vparcreate -p winsim2 -D /stand/vpdb.sim -a
cpu::4 -a cpu:::4 -a mem::1600 -a io:0/8 -a io:1/10 -a
io: 1/2 -a io:0/8/0/0.5.0:BOOT
The alternate partition database file is created if it does not exist.
NOTE In order to boot from an alternate partition database file, the file
must exist in /stand of the disk from which you will boot the entire
